BTS ARMY 30-day challenge: your bias in YOUR favorite video

Huh. How to pick? I have a lot of favorites.... I guess I'll just have to mix and match based on when they looked the most amazing to me. This will probably be all solo projects. Otherwise, I'll be posting forever.

Laundromat JK is a superior JK.

It was really hard to pick a favorite Tae-in-a-suit pic, because this man dresses.

This was his answer for "Description of Jungkook" in Festa 2014 profile

Do you remember what else Jimin wrote? Here:

Q: Habit?

🐣: Being attached to Jeongukkie

Q: 3 things Jimin likes?

🐣: Jeongukkie, performing, receiving attention

So, yeah! Who are we not to believe him??!!

I could not agree more with Anon's take in this.

I've said it 7000 times and I will continue to. I don't know the relationship status BTS have with one another - I join in jokes about almost every ship (only excluding one not bc it's unlikely but bc the content was ruined imho) - but how can anyone deny that Jikook honestly love each other. Friendship can be just this beautiful - and honestly, I subscribe to Yoongi's view on how differentiating between platonic and romantic love is not necessary - but how blind do you have to be to see this video and not think "maybe it's more". I'm not a jikooker who claims that Jikook is the only possible couple in BTS, or for whom it being true decides about me having a good day (I don't even care about cut moments. Jikook aren't the main characters of BTS, and editors are gonna do the best they can when there's 7 overexcited puppies rolling through the frame 1000 times a second). I'm just an observer who loves the music these 7 talented people have put out, who feels seen in their lyrics and understood in their melodies. I'm an observer who saw love between Jikook and thinks that maybe no other love can truly compare. I see them in those moments, or when they share something on stage, and that's enough.

We're fans. We're not entitled to their time and words, we're only entitled to what they would like to share. And after seeing how many "armys" fall down the anti rabbit hole because it fits their narrative (e.g. infantilising 30 YEAR OLD INDUSTRY VETERANS bc whatever view they had of their bias doesn't fit with reality), and how often that starts and ends with putting BTS under a microscope of unrealistic expectations, I want them to put themselves first.

As a last little just thing I'd like to say: Please, dear Jikookers, let's not fall down the anti slope. BTS are one unit, they share more than a band name - they're friends, partners for life and they'd walk through hell and back for each other. And, in a way, them making it to chapter 2 IS them having gone through hell.

As a shipper you may see anything that is done by the company that you don't like as them undermining your ship, or mistreating Jimin and/or JK. You may interpret the actions of another member, in this space often Taehyung and Yoongi, as harmful cowards them. But, please, take a step back from shipping when it comes to this. To kinda quote a TikToker whose famous for debunking conspiracy theories: "Why invent something to be mad at, if you can just be mad at the things that are actually real."

In short, be mad at the way idols and Yoongi have been treated for literal minor incidents by the media. Be mad at the continued sexualisiation of minors, both girls and boys. Be mad at the journalists that have given up their integrity to click bait fans with fake information. Be mad that stans in kpop, who claim to be all about inclusivity and body positivity, regularly resort to homophobic and simply vile language.

But don't get mad at BTS for not conforming with your personal idea of how they should act, what songs to produce and who they spend their time with. Don't forget, you're here for the music, not the drama.

ALL OF THIS!!!

Thank you anon💜

Yeah, but tell me again about how the rest of BTS hate Jimin.

Idiots.

I don't think the solos understand how pissed their favs would be at their behavior. Nobody loves the Tannies like the Tannies do, and nobody loves Jimin as much as JK, and vice versa. Do not come for one or you will have the rest of them on your neck.

All the toxic solos can tear each other apart. They’re together and don't fight about the details of who achieved what. And if they found out you were insulting one of them, they’d burn you alive 😪
